Chris Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, told TMZ on his way out of the courtroom this morning he wants the Rihanna case against his client dismissed because of leaks in the case.[Battered Rihanna Picture].

Geragos told us, “Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct,I will be be filing a motion in this case regarding the leaks.”

He went on to explain that the motion centered around the Rihanna picture AND several other incidents of leaks about the case.

Rihanna’s attorney, Donald Etra, said that the “Disturbia” singer would prefer if prosecutors and Brown reach a plea agreement before a trial, but that she would testify if called upon.

And Brown signed a waiver and is not expected in court Wednesday 29th april, which is today.

The Judge has set a date of May 28th for Brown’s preliminary hearing.

It is still uncertain what is preventing a deal from being closed by the District Attorney’s office and Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos. If no deal is reached and the case progresses to the preliminary hearing stage, the case against Brown will be presented to a judge. One photo that surfaced of Rihanna after the incident showed her face beaten badly. There is a bigger risk for Chris to go to jail if the judge has to decide what’s next.

As you know, RiRi was wearing $1.4 mil in borrowed jewelry when she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown. She was supposed to give it back to the jeweler a while back — but it’s been held by the cops since Brown’s arrest.

Today the judge ruled the jewels can go back to their rightful owner. The LAPD will take photos of the bling in case it’s used as evidence in the trial. But expect a plea bargain.

Two search warrants have been issued in the Chris Brown-Rihanna case, and it’s believed that these warrants are the latest attempt to figure out who leaked the disturbing police photo of Rihanna’s battered face.

According to Accsess Hollywood one warrant is believed to have allowed investigators access to computors inside the Police Department itself, as they are trying to figure out who transmitted the picture.
